ICANN Might Pre-Register gTLDs To Placate Critics
judgecorp writes "ICANN is to be congratulated for succeeding in expanding the Internet beyond the Latin alphabet. However, the organization is facing a harder task in extending the Internet's global top-level domains (gTLDs) — its proposal to open up the gTLD space has been plagued by controversy and delays. INCANN faces struggles with trademark owners and competing businesses — but even so it is being criticized for acting slowly (as seen in transcripts from the recent meeting in Seoul). It now seems likely the body will have a pre-registration scheme to gauge demand and placate critics by getting something moving on new gTLDs."
Forget about .slashdot, .dot is where the real fun is!
"Ok, so the address is slashdot.dot - I'll spell it out for you. (attempting to add emphasis) It's http colon slash slash slashdot dot dot.
- Dot dot dot... So an ellipsis? How do I type those on a computer?
- No, I mean slashdot, as in S-L-A-S-H-D-O-T, then a dot, then dot spelled out.
- Oh! Ok, thanks!"
